Pros:
Fairly clean
Good water pressure
Pretty quiet
Cons:
Would not let me allow someone else to check in, even though I've done that plenty of times at other Holiday Inns. Coworker had to wait for me to arrive to get their room.
Absolutely the worst breakfast I've ever seen at an IHG hotel. Pitiful selection of food and the automated coffee machines take forever, not allowing you to choose how much coffee you get and tasted way worse than the old pump machines. I've never, in the couple hundred times I've stayed at this chain, had to go and buy breakfast elsewhere until now.
Toilet paper is the most painful I've used in quite a while.
They went with the cheaper pillow option instead of the "touch of down" mix that the majority of IHG hotels have.

Booked a room for the right day, but the wrong month. When I called them to see if we can get some kind of refund, since we didn't visit on the wrong month, we were told to bad. We were not asking for 100% but something to help.
This is a mistake anyone could make.
To be charged for a service not received is crazy.
I will never stay at a Holiday Inn again, I hope Noone does, they are greedy and take advantage of people's mistakes.
Terrible customer service and Terrible attitudes.
Again, I know it is my fault, but it is a mistake anyone can make, and to be told to pound sand, not great from a huge company.
$200 loss on my part, I hope this review helps someone else from losing money.

We stayed one night here. (Saturday night) were greeted as soon as we walked in. The gentleman gosh I can't remember his name but he was so friendly. We got a kind bedroom because it was just two of us. The room was so clean and neat. They had everything you would need. The beds were soo comfortable. Keurig machine with coffee pods along with tea bags. They also had shampoo, conditioner and bodywash in the shower.
The hot breakfast was absolutely amazing. Eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy pancakes, oatmeal gosh seems like everything. Lol clean and organized. They really care here you can tell. I thanked them all.
You won't be disappointed to stay here. Its newly renovated.
